did a couple renders last night... first image is final render
but then I decided to change it to 1500 tall instead of 500 tall
So since the card was showing usage of 3900M out of 4096M
I saved the scene and exited to refresh the card
re-opened scene
second image is viewport
third image is aux viewport set to iray
fourth image is iray render

What are your render settings? Is it possible you hit the little exposure symbol while the viewport was in iray mode, then clicked somewhere else? That woudl havea djusted the exposure settings, possibly leading to the sort of blown out render you show.
apparently a breakdown in communications between Daz and the card.

I closed and opened daz several times .. but that made no difference
---
yes, sure reboot.. why do I have dual xeons and 64g?
because to shut down I have to kill 20 chrome windows (just looking at daz is how many) and then there's facebook
and photoshop and the cpu temp monitor and the gpu monitor and the multiple external drives I'm sorting ... not to mention excell, my online game .. indesign and word etc...
---
but the reboot did make daz and the card decide to talk again .. opened same file and there we are.. with what we wanted..
---
today's renders back to normal ---
---
I did spend time checking the log for messages..
---
I take it back.. it might not have been the card... the cpu iray renders were having the same issues --- is there a cache some where that might have been flushed with a shut down of the computer but not a restart of the program?
When they stop talking to each other, try this: Close DAZ Studio, open the task manager, and if DAZ Studio is still chuggng along for more than a minute or two, kill the process. That way, you don't have to reboot. For some reason, DS doesn't clean up the scene properly in the Card's VRam when you stop rendering/close the scene.
that's why I closed the scene and restarted.. I was showing close to max gram usage (about 3900m) so closing the scene dropped it back to the 400 the three screens require... and normally this makes things work fine...

it did seem it cleared the card
---
but I did forget the Daz doesn't always close when you tell it to...
---
on the other hand.. a couple years ago .. I was getting the Daz has encountered an error and has to close dialogue box.. and you hit okay and it closed.
but one time, for who knows what reason, I hit the red X corner and closed the dialogue box... and the program decided to keep going.. this happened several times.. so I don't agree with daz when it wants to close itself any more
